What’s funny to me is this is the attitude of both sides fans.

There’s a very slight, very marginal, barely noticeable difference between liberals commenting on the SCOTUS decision to halt the recount in Bush v Gore circa 2000 and conservatives baselessly claiming millions of illegal ballots were cast in the state of California in 2016, preventing the incoming President from claiming both the EC majority and the popular vote win.

I would not describe these as perfectly identical attitudes toward an electoral contest.

Also, republicans doing everything they can to suppress votes. Including things like

• Changing identification rules unnecessarily resulting in people not getting to vote who have voted for literally decades the same way.
• Aggressively wiping voter roles knowing it will affect democrats more than republicans.
• Bring on a Post Master general to start dismantling mail sorting machines significantly slowing down the mail… Right after stats showed democrats were much more likely to vote by mail.

All this bullshit happens and democrats will bitch about how unfair it is, but will still accept the results.

Democrats will tell you that if they lose, it was your fault for not voting hard enough.

Voters will tell themselves the problem was a bunch of evil foreigners who tricked Republicans into doing what they’ve been doing since Nixon.

Republicans will insist they secretly won California and suggest someone needs to “cut down the tall trees” during the next election.
